TRUE. TRANSLATORS WITH TARGETED
EXPERIENCE (ENGINEERING, ELECTRONICS, SOFTWARE, ETC.) DO THE BEST JOB FOR
THEIR CLIENTS

I’m
willing to pay extra to have the job done right.

TRUE. EXPERT TRANSLATORS ARE WORTH
THEIR WEIGHT IN GOLD.

But I shouldn’t have to wait too long to get my stuff
back—I don’t pay people to sit on their hands.

FALSE. HOW LONG DID
YOUR TECHNICAL WRITERS SPEND ON YOUR PRODUCT LITERATURE? DID THEY NEED
TIME FOR RESEARCH, CONSULTATION, REVISION? TRANSLATORS NEED TO GO THROUGH
THE SAME PROCESS.

As soon as I get my translations, they’re ready to go
out the door.

FALSE. EVEN A CRACK
TRANSLATION NEEDS TO BE REVIEWED BY THE CLIENT. MAKE SURE IT’S DONE TO
SPECIFICATIONS BEFORE IT HITS THE MARKET!

If someone finds a mistake in my foreign-language
material, the translator had better answer for it.

TRUE. REPUTABLE TRANSLATORS ACCEPT
CRITICISM GRACEFULLY AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR WORK.

Why pay a markup to some agency to broker my
translations? I can find the right people myself without a “middleman”.

FALSE. GOOD TRANSLATION COMPANIES SAVE
THEIR CLIENTS BIG BUCKS--AND BIG HEADACHES—BY FINDING THE BEST PEOPLE FOR
THE JOB. THEY ALSO CONTROL QUALITY BY GUIDING AND REVIEWING THE
TRANSLATORS’ WORK BEFORE YOU EVEN SEE IT.

A competent sales and marketing team is an asset you
can’t put a price on.
